Salaries of attorneys who work in the state's criminal justice
system are both "inadequate and inequitable," according to a May
2014 report from the Massachusetts Bar Association Blue Ribbon
Commission on Criminal Justice Attorney Compensation.

From judges to top lawmakers, a who's who of the legal and
political worlds turned out for the Massachusetts Bar Association's
Annual Dinner on May 15 to applaud an array of distinguished
recipients for their dedication to the law and community
service.

Last month the Massachusetts Bar Association's House of
Delegates (HOD) voted to establish a new Complex Commercial
Litigation Section -- the second new section added during the
2013-14 membership year, along with the Workers' Compensation
Section. By adding these specialty areas, both new sections fill
existing member needs and open opportunities to attract new
members.
